Delhi’s Mathura Road soon to be pedestrian friendly

Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor has directed the Delhi Development Authority to finalise a 2.5km pedestrian corridor from the Pragati Maidan/Supreme Court Metro station to Sunder Nagar. The project will include wider footpaths, safer road crossings and foot overbridges and is due to be completed by September. The plan will be tabled at the next meeting of the Unified Traffic and Transportation Infrastructure Centre. The plan has been prepared under the DDA?s walkability policy ? the Enhanced Walkability in Delhi ? which was notified in 2019 and aims to make roads more accessible, particularly around mass transit systems and residential areas.
